Enough is enough. We know the #TrumpShutdown was never about border security — it’s about one man putting his ego above the good of our nation. Now, working families are getting hurt. The Senate must reopen the government immediately.
The president’s fixation with building a useless border wall is now threatening food assistance for children and families, tax refunds for Washington state’s workers and #healthcare and #education for our tribal communities.

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed or being forced to work without pay, including over 2,200 @USDOT workers and over 4,400 @DHSgov workers in Washington state. A president should never use public servants as political pawns.
Our national parks are either closed or overflowing with trash. @MountRainierNPS has been closed due to unsafe conditions for visitors — undermining our outdoor recreation and tourism economies, and our Pacific Northwest way of life. kiro7.com/news/local/vis…
We can no longer allow the United States to be held hostage by the president’s most selfish and irresponsible impulses. There is a bipartisan bill to reopen the government. The Senate should take it up without delay. #EndTheShutdown
